Affidelice

Artisanal CheeseClock Pairing Tool

Affidelice is a washed-rind cow’s milk cheese from the Chablis region in France; it is very similar to Epoisses, which is made in the same region. Its name, Affidelice, comes from the marriage of two words: affine (ripe) and delice (delight). Affidelice is soft, with a moist, terracotta-colored rind, and is contained in a small, wooden box. Here, at the Artisanal Premium Cheese Center, we continue the maturation process, washing Affidelice at least three times with Chablis. The resulting cheese has a soft, pungent, spoonable paste and satiny texture. Pair Affidelice with Chardonnay or Champagne. One piece weighs approximately 7 ounces.
